Anxiety Disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders and include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. This lecture builds on a previous lecture given that provided an overview of anxiety disorders and their diagnosis. During this lecture, the treatment of anxiety disorders will be discussed. The focus will be on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), including relaxation techniques and ‘exposure-based’ methods.
